Body Peace Treaty
I vow to…
• Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if I had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight.

• Never blame my body for the bad day I'm having.

• Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies.

• Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.

• Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.

• Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment I walk, talk, think, breathe...

• Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that I'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me.

• Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.

• Remember that even the girl who I'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates.

• Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break.

• Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who I am inside.

• Know that I'm already beautiful just the way I am.
